For expansion against indies, you could give him 5D for fear. But Machaka does not need an awake god to expand, it's got spiders. So A is probably good, especially since it gives you Rain of Stones, always nice to have.
I think a frost brand (if you can get your hands on one somehow) or snake bladder, plus a charcoal shield, will work better than trampling, if you want to trapeze around and fight stuff.
It's like a cheaper EA cyclops, that can't be mind hunted.

But of course! I forgot about the mindless, I knew he wouldn't autorout. I was mistaken on the Berserker Pelt.
Spiders are amazing, but that game was a lot fun. In reality he wasn't much more than an inexpensive, funny accessory that let me take good scales and have a blistering expansion.
I just couldn't get this image out of my head of a gigantic wooden statue rolling with the slope of the land in a roughly westwards direction, squashing all the pathetic local militias that tried to stop him, causing the inhabitants to pledge their allegiance.  |
I don't believe this is correct.
I *believe* that berserk units are given another 25 turns before autodeath.
